Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 medium potato
- 250 ml warm milk
- 10 grams instant yeast
- 10 grams sugar
- 10 grams salt
- 500 ml vegetable oil
- 100 grams sour cream
- 100 grams grated cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
Instructions
Peel the potato and boil it until soft. Mash the potato and allow it to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, instant yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add the mashed potato, flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix the ingredients until you form a sticky dough.
Dust a clean surface with flour and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and flatten it into a disc about 1 cm thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan over medium heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F).
Carefully lower one or two dough discs into the oil and fry each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough discs.
For the toppings, finely mince the garlic and mix it with a little bit of oil. Spread this garlic oil over each Langos.
Top each Langos with a spoonful of sour cream and sprinkle with grated cheese.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Langos!
